Bit out of the way to challenge that segment! Maybe on the next CC Ecosse West ride...
My local segment is http://app.strava.com/segments/3154959 and it's the only segment on the planet where I'm remotely in contention, and, because it's round the corner from my flat, I'm never usually warmed up for it.
I was going like the clappers coming down from Giffnock, so decided to have a crack at it, even though it would mean doubling back to go home afterwards.
I was starting to up my pace along Kilmarnock Road in preparation for it when a muppet in a Corsa with blacked-out-windows pulled out right in front of me without even looking.
I was absolutely raging, but not because he forced me onto the wrong side of a very busy road, but rather because he ruined my run-in to the segment
And that's when I realised that I was taking Strava too seriously

Woop, got the KOM today!
(technically I only equaled it though, so still need to knock another second off to get it outright)I tend to just go for PRs, as like you I'm not usually that close to the top, but this was just too tempting. I know it won't last but I'll enjoy it for now!
